Now, wouldn’t you like to be treated by a doctor like him? Hugh Laurie plays the antisocial doctor dubbed ‘Dr. Feelbad’, whose character could best be described as irreverent, mean to patients and obnoxious to colleagues. The series well into its 6th season, is full of sarcastic one-liners and patients suffering from the most complicated medical problems. The fictional setting for the show is the cold New Jersey Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Aerial location shots in the series use Princeton’s First Campus Center, NJ whereas the rest of the show is shot at the 20th Century Fox studios in LA.

Scrubs Scrubs, the series that when watched can become an addiction. The mix of comedy and drama in the medical setting tie together to create a show that is filled with witty anecdotes and laughter. The series is filmed in the North Hollywood Medical Centre which was a fully operational hospital catering to the residents of Los Angeles, California.

M*A*S*H M*A*S*H was a comedy drama about war, and the futility and frustrations of war. Is it fair to say that M*A*S*H, the hospital drama that sparked a whole genre, is the most popular TV series of all time? The story of the doctors and nurses of the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital based in Uijeongbu, South Korea, ran for 11 years – while the Korean War it was based upon only lasted for three. The final episode of M*A*S*H, which screened in February 1983, had nearly 122 million viewers, making it the most watched episode of a TV series in U.S television history. Though set in Korea M*A*S*H is generally considered to be an allegory for the then-recently-ended Vietnam War, which remained top of mind in the collective consciousness. The series became increasingly political as the show evolved. M*A*S*H was shot on two different sets – one at what is known today as Malibu Creek State Park at Calabasas, Los Angeles County, California; the other location being a sound stage at Fox Studios.

Nip Tuck Created by Ryan Murphy and referred to as “immoral”, “twisted” and “smart”, the series focuses on two plastic surgeons who are in business together. One is a veritable sex-addict, driven by money, the other is an altruistic family man (with a very dysfunctional family). Described by fans as “addictive” this medical drama has a very different take on the doctor-patient relationship. This “deeply superficial” drama explores modern society’s obsession with perfection, and the idea of beauty being only skin deep (as some people are diabolical). No episode is without the compulsory breast or butt cheek shot. Nip Tuck is filmed in California, USA, in four locations: Altadena, Los Angeles California, Marina del Rey and San Diego. It has won numerous awards including a Golden Globe for best TV drama series, and has been repeatedly nominated for Emmy’s and a host of other awards, including special effects. Filming began in 2003 and finished with its 100th episode in 2009. Chicago Hope One of the classic soap opera-style TV medical dramas, Chicago Hope had a dedicated fan base.

Set in a fictional charity hospital called Chicago Hope Hospital, from the beginning the series was competing head to head with another medical drama, ER, with ER ending up as the ratings winner, while Chicago Hope, despite winning notable awards for it’s cast and quality, was shuffled to new timeslots. Each episode of Chicago Hope explores a moral dilemma, while following the lives of key cast as they struggle to survive long days, emotional turmoil, love, loss, life and death. Sensationalism and melodrama are key ingredients in the show. Chicago Hope first went to air in 1994 and finished up in 2000. Shot in California, filming took place at a number of locations, such as 20th Century Fox Studios; City Hall in downtown Los Angeles; and Ren-Mar Studios, Hollywood. Flying Doctors Running from 1986 to 1992, The Flying Doctors is a classic Australian TV series, its Australian viewers were passionate followers and it was compulsory viewing in many households. It is based upon the efforts of the real Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, a non-profit air ambulance service to isolated communities in regional and rural Australia.

Well-written, beautifully shot and produced, with complex and believable characters and great acting. Set mainly at Cooper’s Crossing, towards the end of its production life, and in an effort to reinvigorate it, the show it’s primary location was shifted to Broken Hill. During its nearly seven-year, run the series was filmed at Nulla Station, New South Wales; the Royal Botanic Gardens, Cranbourne, Victoria; Minyip in Victoria; Broken Hill, New South Wales; Lancefield, Victoria; and the Point Cook Royal Australian Airforce (RAAF) Base. ER A big hit in the 1990’s, ER’s key plot plunged the audience into the work and personal lives of a group of emergency room doctors in the fictional County General Hospital, Chicago. The TV series, created by Michael Crichton, was strong enough to last a full 15 seasons before producers pulled the plug. The real set for the series was 2,000 miles away at the former Linda Vista Community Hospital in LA, California, an old facility that had ceased operating as a medical centre. Then not long after the series got going, filming moved to a set at Warner Bros studios, also in California.

Friends & Days of our Lives As an honourable mention it’s hard to go past the cult 90’s TV series, ‘Friends’ in which actor Matt Le Blanc played the character of Joey Tribbiani, a naive yet loveable womaniser who is constantly struggling to find work as an actor in New York. In Friends, Joey’s career peaked early with two stints in the role of ‘Dr. Drake Ramoray’ in the real ‘Days of our Lives’ soap. Days of our Lives has been aired in the USA on almost every weekday since 1965. Filming of the soap is actually shot in Burbank, California although the acting references the town of ‘Salem’ in a vague, fictional state bordering Illinois. All scenes within hospitals and clinics (24 are mentioned in the show’s history) are shot within the studio at Burbank. One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest Here’s one for some of the more mature, readers who may remember the classic film, ‘One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest’.

The series was reneweed for a tenth season on May 10, 2013, which premiered on September 26, 2013 with a two-hour episode. [2] On May 8, 2014, ABC renewed the series for an eleventh season that will air from 2014-15. [3] After four seasons, outside the top 25 rated shows, Grey's Anatomy was the number 15 show in the 2013-14 season; the show's tenth. The show also re-entered the top five shows in the 18-49 viewer demographic. On March 3, 2016, the show was renewed by ABC for a thirteenth season. Contents Edit Shonda Rhimes, the series' creator, wanted to make a show that she would enjoy watching, [4] and thought it would be interesting to create a show about "smart women competing against one another". [5] When asked how she decided to develop a medical drama, Rhimes responded: “ I was obsessed with the surgery channels.

My sisters and I would call each other up and talk about operations we'd seen on the Discovery Channel. There's something fascinating about the medical world - you see things you'd never imagine, like the fact that doctors talk about their boyfriends or their day while they're cutting somebody open. So when ABC asked me to write another pilot, the [operating room] seemed like the natural setting. [6] ” — Shonda Rhimes The series was pitched to ABC Entertainment, who gave the green light, and the show was picked up as a mid-season replacement for Boston Legal in the 2005 television season. [7] Francie Calfo, executive vice president of development at ABC Entertainment, commented that ABC was looking for a medical show that unlike the others airing at the time. She pointed out that "medical shows are hard, and it was hard trying to figure out where ours could be different. But where everybody else is speeding up their medical shows, [Rhimes] found a way to slow it down, so you get to know the characters. There's definitely a strong female appeal to it." [8] Rhimes initially conceived Grey's Anatomy as a statement against racism.

She endeavored to create a show that featured a racially diverse cast that allowed viewers to relate to characters regardless of race. [9] While creating characters, as well as writing the first script, the series' writers had no character descriptions in mind, and hoped to cast the best actor available for each part. Rhimes hax explained that if the network did not allow her to created characters this way, she would have been hesitant about moving forward with the series. [10] Female roles in particular were developed as multi-faceted characters. Rhimes offered her insight on this, "I wanted to create a world in which you felt as if you were watching very real women. Most of the women I saw on TV didn't seem like people I actually knew. They felt like ideas of what women are. They never got to be nasty or competitive or hungry or angry. They were often just the loving wife or the nice friend. But who gets to be the btich? Who gets to be the three-dimensional woman?" [11] Before the series debuted on March 27, 2005, there were a few early releases to close friends and family of the producers and actors.

The show was scheduled to run in the Boston Legal time slot for four weeks. However, high ratings and viewership led to it holding onto the slt for the remainded of the season. [12] ABC Entertainment President, Steve McPherso, commented on the scheduling change: "Ultimately we decided that, without having adequate lead time or marketing dollars to devote to moving either show so late in the season, we'd continue to let [Grey's Anatomy] build on its tremendous momentum through May." [13] The show's title, Grey's Anatomy, was devised as a play on words: a reference to both Henry Gray's medicla textbook, Gray's Anatomy, and the title character Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo). [14] Prior to broadcast, it was announced that the show's title would change from Grey's Anatomy to Complications, although ultimately this did not come to pass. [15] Production Edit Grey's Anatomy is produced by ShondaLand, in association with The Mark Gordon Company, and ABC Studios (formerly Touchstone Television).

[16] Rhimes, Betsy Beers, Krista Vernoff, Mark Gordon, Rob Corn, and Mark Wilding have all served as executive producers throughout the course of the series. [17] In subsequent seasons, Steve Mulholland, Kent Hodder, Nancy Bordson, James D. Parriott, and Peter Horton have also been executive producers, with Allan Heinberg joining the show in 2006 in this role. [18] As of season eight, the current executive producers are Rhimes, Beers, Gordon, Vernoff, Corn, Wilding, and Heinberg. [19] Rhimes is the series' most prolific writer. She often promotes the show by answering fan questions on her Twitter account. [20] Other members of the writing staff are Vernoff, Wilding, Peter Norwalk, Stacy McKee, William Harper, Zoanne Clack, Tony Phelan, Joan Rater, and Debora Cahn. [21] From the second through seventh seasons, the writers maintained a blog entitled Grey Matter, where the writer of an episode discussed the motives behind the writing.

[22] Directors vary by episode, with Rob Corn directing most frequently, followed by Tom Verica. Horton, Edward Ornelas, and Jessica Yu have also directed a substantial number of episodes. [23] Cast members Chandra Wilson and Kevin McKidd have both directed multiple episodes. [24] Grey's Anatomy has been edited by Susan Vaill since the show's inception, [25] and David Greenspan was named an editor in 2006. [26] Casting directors Linda Lowy and John Brace have been a part of the production team since 2005. Production design is led by Donald Lee Harris, assisted by art director Brian Harms, and costume design is led by Mimi Melgaard. Working alongside Melgaard, Thomas Houchins supervises costumes, Ellen Vieira is the makeup artist, and Jerilynn Stevens as a hair stylist. The Director of Photography is Herbert Davis. The music coordinator is Danny Lux. [27] Karen Lisa Pike, MD is the on-set medical consultant, alongside Linda Klein, a RN. [28] The production staff is part of a Grey's Anatomy softball team that competes against other television shows, such as CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

[29] Casting Grey's Anatomy used a color blind casting technique, resulting in a racially diverse ensemble. Filming Locations & Technique Edit Rhimes considered setting the medical drama in her hometown, Chicago, but eventually decided to go with Seattle, to distingush Grey's Anatomy from the Chicago-based ER. Fisher Plaza, which is the headquarters building of Fisher Communications and Fisher's ABC affiliated KOMO radio and television schedule stations in Seattle, is used for some from exterior shots of Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital. In particular, air ambulances land on the KOMO-TV newscopter's helipad. This suggests the hospital is close to the Space Needle (which is directly across the street from Fisher Plaza), the Seattle Monorail, and other local landmarks. However, the hospital used for most exterior and a few interior shots is not in seattle; these scenes are shot at the VA Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center in North Hills, California. Most scenes are taped at Prospect Studios in Los Feliz, just east of Hollywood, where the Grey's Anatomy set occupies six sound stages. Some outside scenes are shot at the Warren G. Magnuson Park in Seattle. Several props used are working medical equipment, including the MRI machine.

When asked about about operating scenes, Sarah Drew offered this: We work with Bovine organs, which is cow's organs. The smell is repulsive and makes us all gag. And we use an actual soldering tool to solder the organs. It smells like burning flesh. There's also a lot of silicone and blood matter, red jello mixed with blood and chicken fat. It's pretty gross. Costumes are used to differentiate between attending surgeons, who wear navy blue scrubs. The series is filmed with a single-camera setup, as are many dramas. Grey's Anatomy is often filmed using the "walk and talk" filming technique, popularized on television by series such as St. Eelsewhere, ER, and The West Wing. Series Synopsis Edit Grey's Anatomy follows the lives of surgical interns and residents at the fictional Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital (formerly Seattle Grace Hospital, Season 1-6, Seattle Grace Mercy West Hospital, Season 6-9, and then Grey-Sloan Memorial Hospital, Season 9-present), as they gradually evolve into seasoned doctors, with the help of their competent mentors. Every installment, typically, commences with a voice-over narrative from Meredith Grey or a season regular, foreshadowing the thee of the episode.
